The story goes that when residents asked Reeve John Dumbrille to suggest a name in 1880, he offered Frogmore after one of Queen Victoria's homes.

Residents were not amused since a nearby swamp was filled with noisy frogs, so Dumbrille suggested Domville, the original French Huguenot version of his family name.

Between Prescott and Domville is the hamlet of Sparkle City. The place started in 1946 as a collection of tarpaper shacks, but then new homes were built and the lights from them at night ended the run-down appearance of the settlement.

Prescott residents regarded the lights as 'sparkles' on the road to Domville and in 1978 the hamlet officially received that name.
